Gateshead digital company Atomhawk launch Kickstarter campaign

Atomhawk, a Gateshead-based digital art and design studio, are using crowd-funding website Kickstarter to raise money for the design and production of a new art book featuring their work from video games and film.

The Art of Atomhawk, Volume 2 will feature art from some of Atomhawk’s most high-profile video game and film titles as well as personal contributions from its world-class team of artists. The book will also include images from Atomhawk’s own creation, The Realm, with artwork inspired by local North East landscapes and architecture.

Cumron Ashtiani, Atomhawk Director, said: “In the four year’s since we teamed up with 3D Total to create The Art of Atomhawk Design, Volume 1, our art team has really grown and developed and we’ve worked on some outstanding games and film titles.

“We now have a fresh and diverse body of work, which we know will make a great looking and inspiring book, with something in there for everyone.”

Atomhawk have already raised £6,400 of their £15,000 target in the first week of their four week campaign.

Rewards for backers include a signed deluxe version of the new book, a personalised portrait painted by one of the art team and the chance to create a brief for an Atomhawk artist to paint a bespoke image for inclusion in the book.
